Fight Smelly Clothes With #DownyBoomBoomPow

Sa lahat ng poll na ginawa ko, ito ang pinakapatok: Anong amoy ang pinaka ayaw mong kumakapit sa damit mo?

52 shares and 139 comments.. marami talaga ang ayaw sa mabahong damit. Bad trip naman talaga di ba? Yung tipong kakaligo mo lang tapos lalabas ka ng bahay, wala pang 30 minutes amoy usok ka na. Nyaaaay

In a recent survey on malodors, the top 10 tough malodors on clothes are:

vehicle exhaust
cigarette smoke
smoke from burning garbage
sweat and body odor
wet socks
kulob
fried fish
barbecue
garlic
Onions

I know you have been waiting for this moment, for me to announce the winner of my Malodors poll. Lahat kayo may tama and the winner was not chosen based on her/his answer, swerte swertihan lang ba. Soooo here it is:

Now let’s talk about how we can eliminate these malodors on our clothes. Alangan magbihis ka maya’t maya di ba? In a not so recent event, we got the chance to expereince malodors on our clothes. Akalain nyong nag ihaw si Chef JP Anglo sa harap namin. Imagine a not so big room with like more than 20 people tapos may iniihaw na liempo at isda. Kumusta di ba? Before the cooking demo, pinag suot kame ng apron, some got the blue, some the pink one. You guessed it right, the other apron may downy, the other one wala. And we were surprised with the result! Nakakaloka ang baho nung apron na walang Downy. ANG BAHOOOOO talaga! The other one, ang linis pa rin ng amoy!

Here’s an explanation how Downy works:

The newest technology from Downy softener contains the breakthrough Malodor Removal Technology which does not just “mask” malodor with aromatic ingredients, but effectively eliminates tough malodors which stick to clothes completely.. This prevents the odor-causing material from being released again. The Perfume Micro Capsules, which are spread and embedded on fabric while washing, will help bring back the refreshing fragrance on clothes. Together, the Malodor Removal Technology and the Perfume Micro Capsules harmoniously work to help neutralize all tough smells and create longer lasting fragrant smells on clothes every time the fabrics are rubbed.

This innovative product formulation is also complemented with modern and colorful product packaging for all five Downy fragrances:

Sunrise Fresh (for quick drying, even indoors)
Antibac (to keep germs away for the whole family)
Garden Bloom (for wonderful floral freshness)
Single Rinse (for quick rinsing with less water)
Baby Gentle (for the safety of sensitive baby skin)

And that’s how you fight malodors on your clothes with #DownyBoomBoomPow. Watch how me and Sofi fight amoy palengke in our clothes:

The new Downy with the Malodor Removal Technology and the Perfume Micro Capsules are now available in supermarkets nationwide. More information can be found on www.facebook/downyphilippines or follow the conversation online with the hashtag: #DownyBoomBoomPow

Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ and Roast Beef Spreads

A staple in my kitchen are spreads, chocolate spreads, butter spreads, mayonnaise and of course sandwich spreads. We love spreads that much, lalo na when it is mayonnaise based. I will use mayonnaise in every possible ways (adik lang sa mayo haha). Last week, we got to try the newest spreads from Lady’s Choice, Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ and Roast Beef Spreads.

Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ and Roast Beef Spreads

Two new variants of spreads from our favorite brand, ilabas na ang mga tinapaaaaay! Coincidentally, Robinsons Supermarket send us a basket (3 baskets actually!) of breads in celebration of World Bread Day. Swak na swak sa baon at meryenda ng mga bagets.

Let’s start with Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ Spread. The NEW Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ Spread got the right blend of creamy spread and real chicken bits for a delicious and healthy sandwich according to their website. They forgot to mention that it also a bit smokey. Did I described it right? (I can never be a foodie blogger! Peachy help!! haha). In lay man’s term, lasang lasa ang pag ka BBQ nya mga teh. Gets na? And since hindi naman kasosyal ang lola nyo at mas mahilig sa BBQ kesa sa roast, I prefer this over the roast beef.

The new Lady’s Choice Roast Beef Spread is good too. It’s not just for me but I could eat it basta may Gardenia bread. My kids on the other hand, prefers this one. They eat anything with beef kase.

The sandwich in the photo above, it was “invented” by my kids. For some reasons, nagustuhan nila anything with green pears so they tried putting green pears on their sandwiches. Patok! Go ahead and try it too.

Better Safe Than Sorry: LPG Safety Tips From Solane

Para sa akin, pinakanakakatakot talaga ang leaked LPG. I do not want to imagine what can happen pag may leak ang LPG kaya talaga naman, all the safety tips I can find, sinasabuhay namin. Good thing, our friends from Solane, sent as a few safety tips. I am posting it here on my blog para naman lahat tayong mga nanay eh safe 🙂

LPG Safety Tips From Solane

Place the LPG cylinder in a well-ventilated area. Ensure that the area is not susceptible to rises in temperature and is kept away from flammable materials, like curtains and solvents. Avoid storing LPG in the basement. LPG vapor is heavier than air and any leakage will sink to the ground, accumulate, and may be difficult to disperse.
Secure the LPG cylinder in place. Position the cylinder upright and make sure that it is not at risk of being tipped over or damaged by children, and that the area is not prone to flooding and other natural disasters. If it is on its side, the liquid may escape.
Check the LPG cylinder for damaged or incorrect parts before using. Ensure that the cylinder has the correct valve, regulator and hose. Do not accept and operate the cylinder without the right and complete parts.
Observe safety when cooking or replacing cylinders. When cooking, keep your kitchen well-ventilated so that any leaked gas particles will not get trapped and accumulate around the kitchen. Never leave your cooking unattended because your pot or pan could overflow and extinguish the burners, causing gas to leak. When changing the cylinder, do not do it near sources of ignition because the naked flame, including cigarette butts, could ignite any released gas. Never forget to turn off the gas appliance and regulator when not in use.
Always keep the LPG cylinder in good condition. Check for any leak from time to time by rubbing soapy water on the cylinder for even a tiny leak can make a soap bubble. Clean the valve outlet using plastic plugs. Make sure that no dirt and insects get inside the valve outlet. Also, it is recommended to replace the hose every two years and the regulator every five years.
Never tamper with your LPG cylinder. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use and maintenance of your LPG cylinder. If you suspect or find anything wrong, call your gas provider immediately and ask for assistance.

LPG is a versatile yet highly flammable fuel. To keep it safe and useful, always take good care of it and observe proper handling and storage.
